I am using mine as a ground cover, it won't be a quick process with my 3 little plants, but that's OK w/ me. Retains its wonderful colors.
Negative	crowellli	On Aug 6, 2006, crowellli from Houston, TX (Zone 9a) wrote: This plant is supposed to be less invasive than the more common green variety. I love the colors on it and currently have it in a mixed container. I'll report back on how it fares. Died within weeks. Planted in large container with Magilla Perilla, croton & Persian Shield. All plants other than the jasmine did well. I think Houston's high heat and humidity did it in. (It was shielded from direct sun by the other plants.)
